as a big u.s. debt holder, china will for sure be affected. >> reporter: and in australia, too. >> it makes it much more expensive for tourists to visit australia. so those parts of our economy exposed to the tourist sector, and we've done a lot and spent a lot of money promoting australia overseas are not going to benefit so greatly from that. >> reporter: in tokyo, some economic experts see history repeating itself. they compare the current u.s. debt crisis to japan's crippling recession of the 1990s. >> it's the exact replay of what we went through in japan 10, 15 years ago. >> reporter: however the debate plays out in washington, experts say the financial ripples will be felt around the world. >> it's an issue that really is lurking in the background of each and every economy of the world. >> reporter: jonathan mann reporting. >>> all right. we've got a story we want you to stick around for coming up next. could you believe that a soldier actually served ten tours in a war zone. i want to tell

that balanced budget amendment is the big sticking point. harry reid wants to vote down the house republican plan and has a plan of his own. one increase in the debt ceiling would allow the president to borrow another $2.4 trillion. it would have about $2.2 trillion in cuts to offset the new borrowing. some from save negotiation afghanistan and iraq. the republican doesn't trust the math and a committee that would have to be formed for additional deficit reduction steps. that is where we stand. the house republicans have their plan, the democrats do have theirs? can they work out a compromise by monday night, august 2nd, at midnight. the government would have less money coming in than it needs to pay out in bills. eric ericson, as a conservative, what is the line? do you want any deal? don't go to the point where we might have a default? or is it a balanced budget amendment, size of the spending cuts? what is the red line for conservatives in a compromise negotiation, what should it be? >> you know, i tend to agree with jeff lake, send s.j.

that is a big statement. i'll tell you almost as quickly as we heard that come from the top republican in the senate we also heard from senate majority leader harry reid as he was returning to the capitol from a meeting at the white house with the president. he was asked if they were any closer to an agreement and reid said very firmly no. one reason could be is we're hearing from democratic leadership aides in the senate, the possible pessimism they said republicans have not moved off from their position that they support the house speaker john boehner's bill. what we're seeing a lot of is a lot of back and forth here. it is a very fluid situation as you know, wolf. one thing we're keeping our eye on is potential for a very late night, 1:00 a.m. vote, the first test, a test vote for senator reid's proposal to raise the federal debt ceiling as he's pushing that proposal forward at the same time. >> they need 60 votes for reid's proposal to get through the senate because the republicans at least some of them a

if you could get back up to 15 million cars, it would make a big difference. does this incredible month or two of wrangling in washington and the sense we can't get our house in order and we're so divided, do you think this hurts in a measurable way? >> well, you're right. nature abhors a vacuum and markets abhor uncertainty. uncertainty undermines consumer confidence. consumer spending in our country accounts for about 65% to 70% of the gdp. so when consumers lose confidence, they hesitate, not as bullish, not spending money. it does have an impact on the economy. but there are all sorts of uncertainties. you name one. the oil spikes earlier in this year. we got off to a pretty good start in 2011. then oil spiked above $100 a barrel. that particularly concerned our industry. then there was the tragic earthquake and tsunami in japan. that threw a lot of uncertainty into our industry. so there are all sorts of uncertainty. that's what we get paid to do, is to manage through that. it keeps me awake at night. >> the world you're describing is one where a lot of t

your conversation with senator paul is a fascinating snapshot of the big question. where do we go next. let's assume in a moment or two the house will pass this plan. we know the president says he would never sign it. we already know it is most unlikely to escape the senate and by tonight or tomorrow could be voted down in the senate. the question, wolf, after we go through the rituals. house republicans plant their flag right now and senate democrats plant their flag, when will the real negotiations begin? many people will tell you they can see the broad outlines of a deal. it's somewhere in the numbers around the reid plan. $2.5 trillion. you get cuts. you do it one time. not two like house republicans do and you can have cap in that plan and triggers for additional cuts in that plan if say the savings would come from iraq and afghanistan and don't materialize and votes on a balanced budget amendment but what the democrats reviews to do is tie an increase in the debt ceiling to passing the balanced budget amendment. you can see the rough outlines of a deal. any de

so that's i think a big part of it. it's a political calculation, but also a congressional responsibility and presidential responsibility. they're not president yet. >> but mitt romney specifically, jam, he's the front-runner by all accounts, at least according to all the polls. if he wants to be the next president of the united states, the leader of the republican party, shouldn't he be more directly involved in at least smeeking out affirmatively, negatively about what's going on? >> well, may shell bachmann say she is's not for it under any circumstances. if you're running for president, you're supposed to have the opinion on everything. this is the biggest issue we're facing right now. it would be interesting to know what governor romney's position is on this. it's totally fair to ask him, what would you do? you're running for president. >> sure, and it's totally fair for someone like mitt romney to say this is still in flux and right now, dividing our party is not what we want to do. we want to bring it together be
